Papillary carcinoma arising from a thyroglossal duct cyst: A case report and literature review.

Introduction: Papillary carcinoma originating from a thyroglossal cyst is rare and peculiar, with majority of cases detected after surgery. Despite an excellent prognosis, its management remains controversial. Herein, we report the case of a 53-year-old woman who underwent Sistrunk procedure for a thyroglossal duct cyst and was subsequently confirmed to have papillary thyroid carcinoma.

A Case of Trigeminal Schwannoma Presenting as a Parasellar Mass.

Schwannoma's of considerable size arising from the trigeminal nerve are very rare. Here, a case of a large right-sided parasellar mass diagnosed as a trigeminal schwannoma is reported. Complete resection of the tumor was successfully achieved.

A Method for Reconstruction of Severely Damaged Spinal Cord using Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cells and Platelet-rich Protein as a Biological Scaffold.

Introduction: There have been attempts to alter the prognosis of severe spinal cord injury in different centers, but none of which have reliably altered the outcome. Some trials use stem cells (SCs) that produced widely differing results. We hereby add our experience in our center of a surgical reconstruction of the damaged spinal cord using a mixture of SCs and Platelet-Rich Protein (PRP) with fibrin coated as a biological scaffold.

Adult Desmoplastic Medulloblastoma.

Medulloblastoma is more common in young age and rare in adult age. Some characteristics that characterize medulloblastoma in adults compared with children: Lateral cerebellar location, heterogeneous signal intensity on magnetic resonance imaging, desmoplastic histological variant and more favorable prognosis. Preoperative diagnosis is important for correct management of these patients.
